Gift giving season is finally here! We have spent countless hours finding all the best gifts for the special people in our lives and can’t wait to give them out. But first, we need to think about gift wrapping.

Do you have a puzzle with a few missing pieces? Why not repurpose the leftover pieces and create personalized holiday greetings and names tags.

And that’s a wrap…Linenplace wishes you a safe and joyous Holiday Season!!!

Thanksgiving is the official start of the Holiday Season where you spend quality time with your loved ones while also overindulging in some of your favorite foods like apple pie. To accompany such a magical time of the year, it is important to add a few personal touches to your home to make it warm and inviting for your guests.

Halloween is almost upon us, so let’s get the house ready for those ghouls and goblins. Here are some fun and inexpensive DIY decorating ideas that the whole family can enjoy.

Turn a simple mason jar into a Jack-o-Lantern by covering the outside with colorful crafts paper and adding spooky face cutouts to the front. After the outer decorations have set, place a flameless tea light inside to complete the look.

Another way to dress up a mason jar is by wrapping the entire jar with medical gauze and sticking some funny eyes on the front for a mummified look.

The temperature outside is finally cooling down and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about how to welcome Fall into your home.When people think about Autumn, warm earthy tones always comes to mind.

Spruce up your mantle piece with fresh finds from the local Farmers market. An assortment of multicolored pumpkins, gourds and foliage will certainly warm up any living space.

If you are looking for a classier vibe, try adding some vases with dried grain stalks and acorns to the mix.

Brighten up your dull bathroom by simply changing the shower curtain. For a fun update, add a geometric print or a pop of color. If you are looking for a more sophisticated style, pick a clean design with a solid ground and a detailed trim.

Irving Place in yellow by Echelon Home offers a vintage iron gate pattern. Also available in charcoal.

The Tassel shower curtain by Echelon Home is made of 100% cotton slub fabric (in white) with a chic tassel trim. Tassels come in a variety of colors like claret, lake blue, black, grey and marsala.

Echelon Home’s popular Washed Belgian Linen shower curtain is made of 100% Belgian flax. Available in an assortment of neutral colors.

Want to update your home without breaking the bank? Add Echelon Home’s new line of decorative pillows to your room for an instant touch of style. The assortment of colors and sizes will easily match with any décor. Some styles feature detailed beading while others offer light embroidery.

Linen has a wonderful texture, is highly breathable and is more durable than cotton. It’s certainly great to sleep on in the summer, but in fact, it’s great all year round! If you’re not familiar with linen, it’s important to appreciate the unique texture, and that it takes some time to achieve the buttery softness that is the hallmark of linen. Echelon’s linen bedding is pre-washed for softness, but they keep getting better with each wash!

The classic color palette offers great choices for any decor.
